End of the line - for now
The new Metrolink route to Chorlton / St Werburgh's Road opened in 2011. Track had been laid for a short distance beyond the St Werburgh's Road stop, and was in use as a headshunt. Work was well underway on the next two extensions to the network - a continuation of the South Manchester Line along the disused railway to Didsbury, and a line to Manchester Airport. The latter will leave the existing line near this point, cutting across former school playing fields and Chorlton Brook to join Mauldeth Road West.
